SEPTA train questions

I've searched this thread for mentions of the SEPTA train, and don't think this is addressed. First, it looks like the fare should be updated to $8 in post #2.

We'll be meeting people for lunch in the Reading Terminal Market area during an 8-hour layover before going to Italy. Am I reading correctly that there are no machines or booths for getting train tickets at the airport, and one is generally expected to buy them onboard? Since $32 for two round trips would be a big portion of the U.S. cash I'm planning to have, I was thinking of buying them online, with enough notice to have them mailed, if that can be done by credit card. I also see references to it calling for the Zone 4 weekday fare at all times, even though this will be on a weekend. The fare quoted on the Shop SEPTA site for that category is $6.50, so would we also have that savings with an online purchase?
